Some reviewers appreciated the ability to assign tickets by department, ensuring that they are routed to the appropriate team.

Inaccurate Due Dates: Users have encountered confusion due to tickets not displaying their due dates correctly. This inconsistency has led to potential missed deadlines and added uncertainty in managing tasks within HappyFox Help Desk.

Delayed Notifications: Several reviewers mention significant delays in receiving notifications from HappyFox Help Desk. In some cases, users report not receiving any notification at all, which places the responsibility on the assignee to manually check for new tickets.

HappyFox is used as our main IT ticket system as well as our fleet services. It is currently used from an admin side in IT and Fleet respectively, but anyone in the company can submit tickets for IT help. HappyFox gave us the ability to track and maintain issues throughout our various systems in IT. For fleet it gives the fleet manager the opportunity to manage repairs in a timely manner and reach out directly to the drivers.
  • Tracking
  • Reporting
  • Customizing
  • Reports can be a bit lacking
Honestly, if there is a need for tracking anything from IT and service to maintenance scheduling, they have a solution. I have been beyond pleased with the system and the automation that you can set up. You can customize the tickets themselves, replies, and even round robin assigning. For a smaller team I wouldn't recommend the best bundle, but they also offer more striped down versions that are more cost effective.

  • Being able to track progress throughout repair
  • Historical issues
HappyFox delivered a more cost effective solution and asset management had no limit. The main problem I saw with the various other services I demoed, was the up charges. The pricing seems manageable until you see that they charge for every 100 or so of this and 100 of that. HappyFox is truly a one-stop shop for us.

  • Through Email support, the company conducts a marketing plan, through sharing of catalogs.
  • Survey and feedback are conducted and attained from HappyFox.
  • HappyFox supports live chat, an easy way to perfect the satisfaction of clients.
HappyFox has a customer tracking gadget or capacity, which acts as a feedback and survey solution. The classification of complaints is another feature that HappyFox embraces. The escalation management has been a suitable experience for HappyFox. Calls and live chat are the immediate communication features that HappyFox deployed, and they are extensively helping us.

We currently use Happy Fox across all departments for internal and company tickets. It’s used for client requests, as well as tickets between departments. It’s the simplest solution to have a ticket system that allows us to integrate and be connected on all projects, big or small. We use it most frequently when we are tagging people in High Rise, our CRM system. We also tag tickets from Happy Fox on some internal communication on Slack and in emails as well.
  • Ability to assign tickets to a specific person. When you look at the Your Tickets section, every ticket that’s currently assigned to you appears in one place, which is helpful.
  • Ability to mark tickets in different places of progress. It’s helpful to be able to look at an individual ticket and know where in the cycle of progress it currently is. This is much easier than having to ask someone directly and waste time.
  • Ability to easily assign by department. In a busy digital marketing company, the last thing anyone wants to deal with is their ticket disappearing into the great unknown. Being able to assign tickets to specific people as well as categories or departments helps solve this issue.
  • I’ve had issues with the text box when I’m creating the text of the ticket. Sometimes the mouse just goes to another line for no reason. This is a small but annoying bug that tends to slow me down.
  • Our company struggles with the due dates of tickets showing up the right way. On many occasions, I’ll put a due date but the person it’s assigned to will end up with a due date that’s a day later.
  • We’ve struggled with notifications from Happy Fox coming into our email. Sometimes there is a severe lag, like the ticket that’s created by you comes a day or two later. Even worse, sometimes a ticket will be assigned to you but you never got a notification. Then it’s on the ticket assignee to make sure you saw the ticket and it’s on your radar.
Happy Fox works well in companies that want a full look at all of their tickets in one place. It may be better suited to smaller companies who can check or double check their tickets and have the time to spare. For bigger companies, I think there are better, more robust solutions.

  • Having Happy Fox has helped organize our ticket systems. Spending less time sorting through tickets has meant we are spending more time doing work that pays for our clients.
  • Happy Fox allows us to see all of our tickets in one place easily. Instead of having to deal with Excel spreadsheets, you can export ticket information like the average amount of time spent on tickets, who completed the most, etc.
  • With Happy Fox, we are more productive and it’s something easily accessible to every member of the company. Each person has a login giving every employee accountability for their tickets and output.
Mojo was an okay ticket system but it was difficult to track. You also couldn’t consolidate between messages very well, which would leave you with long threads to deal with and waste time. With Mojo, it suited our needs for a time but as the company grew, it became clear we needed a more robust ticket system to work efficiently.

At long last, we figured out how to sort out all help issues and inquiries in a single place, as opposed to utilizing a support email or mailing list. Additionally, we cut down on the quantity of clients who might email one help individual separately again and again, as opposed to having their query addressed by whoever happens to be available.
  • HappyFox is restricted in what it can offer (particularly the free version,) yet it functions exceptionally well as a support ticketing framework.
  • Clients have an portal to submit tickets, mind progress, and react to support assistant's updates or plans.
  • Administrators can track tickets, see what's left open, and set up plans that ensure tickets are not overlooked and are given the best possible priority to get dealt with.
  • There are a few features that I would hope to be standard that are not yet accessible. For instance, having different time zones isn't a choice, and clients aren't able to create their own reports, only staff can. So, my staff is required to run those reports for our clients.
The dashboard is outwardly charming and is very adaptable. On the off chance that you want to, you can also adjust its format and shading. You can also deal with things, for example, IP address and email servers. Its top to bottom detailing and examination capacity is accompanied by engaging visual design. A key component is HappyFox's capacity to coordinate with different applications, including your site and email records to add even more functionality. However, this requires more specialized knowledge and could involve extra effort. Administration coordination is bolstered directly or through Zapier, an administration joining structure.

  • You can assign tickets to the relevant team or individual systematically, rather than assigning it manually.
  • The great queue functionality, which reduces response time to customers' queries.
  • You can set up auto-replies on customer tickets and on emails.
